You're a drug-dealing scumbag.
Someone's kneecapped Aido.
Who done that? The RA.
The RA? Nidge making a donation to the prisoners fund, is he? Git asked me to drop him off to you.
He'd a few too many.
Give us an aul' kiss.
Get away from me! I told you to bring her home and now look at the shit heap we're in.
I didn't do anything! Who is he? Git Loughman.
The RA man.
That's bad news Nidgy.
NIDGE: This is some heavy duty shit here.
If his friends find out, we're all going to be dead.
Nidgy, my aul' pal.
Are you after fadin' on me? Are you alright, buddy? What time is it? Time for the early house.
Are you up for it? No.
Better keep the head straight.
Ring this prick Dano back.
Two days I've been getting calls from him.
I already told him Git fucked off.
I don't know what he's ringing me again for.
Unless he doesn't believe me.
I thought you said the two of them was pissed out of their brains? Yeah.
The aul' fella could've gone anywhere, couldn't he.
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS.
.
Daniel.
Alright Ma.
Ma, are you alright? Have they found him yet? No Ma, but don't worry.
We have the lads all over town.
If he's anywhere at all we'll have him found and home in time for tea.
What are we going to do about his pigeons, Daniel? The pigeons.
The pigeons is fine Ma.
I already fed them and changed their water.
But who'll take them? Ma.
No-one's going to take his pigeons.
Are you mad? He'll go spare if he comes home and they're gone.
Ma.
Ma, he's coming home, alright.
He just went out on a session, that's all it is.
I'm going to find him, no matter what.
Do you hear me? Yeah.
I'm on it, right.
Darren, wake up.
Shit's hitting the fan.
Let's go.
What about Aido? Leave him.
Tommy.
Come on Tommy, wake up.
Come on, up.
Listen to me now.
Siobhan's keeping it together, yeah? She's alright like.
She wasn't there on the night, okay.
She was at home and went to bed early.
That's all she has to remember.
Is he going to want to know who was there? No he won't.
I'm just reminding you.
I want you to get some more of that industrial strength cleaning fluid and a yard brush and give the whole area another clean.
But I done that already.
That's why I said ANOTHER clean, you dope.
I don't want any empty bottles of bleach lying around the place either.
You think the cops will be around? No.
It's not the bleedin' cops that has me worried.
He's not answering.
There's something up if he's not answering.
Yis looked everywhere? Yeah.
All the usual spots.
That little prick knows something.
I know it.
Did you.
.
fuck Fran? He paid me, didn't he.
You're a dick Tommy.
You know that? Have you got a smoke? I know what you want to know.
I can tell.
Yis all want to know the same thing.
Who was the best.
Was I the best.
Is that good.
Do you like that.
Was Fran better.
It's like being fucked by a stinking robot.
In out, in out.
Faster, faster.
Slow slow.
Is that good.
Do you like that.
Is that good for you.
Is that good.
Oh yeah.
Don't stop.
That's it.
All my Christmases at once.
Alright Debbie.
Enough.
Is that crack talking now or is it you? What are you talking about crack for? Crack is whack, baby.
Crack is whack.
Go home to your girlfriend, Tommy.
And your baby.
This is Tommy.
Leave a message.
Can't hear what he's saying.
You listen, will you.
Can you make it out? Only he wants you to come over to him.
I don't get it.
I don't know what he's at.
What's his game? Do you think he knows? No but you're the last person he saw with his da.
I already told him that so why is he leaving me all these messages? So you're going to go over there? What else can I do? If I don't he'll smell a rat.
Do you want me to come with you? No.
I have to do it on my own.
Otherwise he knows.
Take some zimmos.
You won't give a shit about anything.
He could chainsaw you in half and you'd be laughing.
Fuckin' hilarious.
Do you want them or not? Go on then.
Well two is no use to me.
Two is enough.
Otherwise you'll be on the floor.
Look at this.
Give me another two for later.
You'll be totally out of it then.
Just give me them, will you.
Alright.
Do you think I should ring Git? What are you on about? On his mobile.
In case Dano can access it and he hears all these messages from me going alright Git, hope you got home okay.
No.
Who does that? No-one.
Then he knows it's you.
How long before these kick in? About half an hour.
All you've to do is remember there's no way he knows it's you cos no-one's talked.
He's going to wonder cos you were out with him but the way he was, anybody could've done it.
Right.
Are you alright, hun? Come here.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Where's the little man? Is he in his cot? >It's okay.
Aunty Donna's here now.
I'm sorry to ask you Donna.
I just need a break.
Don't worry chicken.
It's no bother to me.
What is it, hun? Are you not well? Do you not want to tell me? He's on his own.
The hack of him.
Like he's off Strictly.
Must have some balls coming in here if he's after doing something.
Nah, he's a chicken shit.
Maybe he doesn't know anything.
We'll know soon enough.
Alright Dano.
How's it going.
Jayz, it's freezin' outside.
Very cold for March.
My flute's got frostbite it's so cold.
What the fuck are you on about? Where's my da? Sorry.
I had fuck all sleep last night.
I was out with the lads.
Do you think I'm stupid? No.
I have to say, this is mad Dano.
If I knew anything would I be here? I can have you in a shed out there in 5 minutes and cut your bollocks off with a broken bottle.
Then we'll see.
Go for it.
Go ahead.
It's like I'm bollixed either way here with you.
Number one, I didn't do anything to your da.
I don't know where he is but I'm here to help.
Do whatever you want.
I'll answer all your questions the same, no matter how many times you write it down.
Number 2.
.
And number 2.
.
Number 2.
.
I can't remember what number 2 is but I don't know where he is.
I said to him.
When I was going to drop you off I said I'd drop him off.
I dropped him off in town so maybe.
.
Maybe he went back to the brazzers to her his hole.
Are you alright? Yeah.
He was nowhere near the brazzers.
Is that understood? Yeah.
I apologise.
I didn't mean that Dano.
I don't know where he is.
I'm sorry.
My Ma hears that from the cops and she'll be in bits.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I saw red there.
Thought you were getting smart.
No.
I was thinking you done something to my Da.
No.
We all left after the.
.
After the place.
We get in the car, you were there, drop you home.
He says he wants to go into town.
He gets me to pull up on the quays and he hops out.
I didn't know what he was doing.
Paddy, go in next door and get him a drink.
A drink will sort you.
I'll have a vodka.
I'll have one as well.
Appreciate you driving me home.
Two fellas in the bar.
You say you know the one my da made shite out of.
Yeah.
Who is he? Elmo.
The other lad's his cousin.
What's the story with him? You mean is he mad enough to go after your da? Yeah.
Yeah.
Elmo's a headcase.
You know where they're at? I can get it sorted if you want.
Do it myself.
Right, no problem.
All I was thinking was, if Elmo heard you were looking for him he'd be gone but we all go back, you know.
If I got one of the lads he knows, he wouldn't see it coming.
The fuckin' branch.
You can do it, can you? No problem.
I want them got in the back of a van.
I want them tortured.
It'd be easier getting them shot.
With all the cops around.
They stop you and you have them the boot of a car and then he scoots and he's gone.
What the use in shooting him if I don't know where my da is? Right.
Fair enough.
I know Elmo, right.
He's a pussy.
Jam a pistol in his mouth and he'll start crying.
Tell you anything you want.
Draw you a fuckin' map, so he will.
Will you go out on the balcony if you're going to smoke that.
Is it sore? It's alright.
Animal should be locked up.
A dog wouldn't do that.
What does the doggy say? Woof woof.
Ah Nidgy.
That's a beaut.
About 400 yards it was.
If only I'd get the putting sorted I could've turned pro.
It's only us.
All the stiffs are at work.
You'd think with no-one working they'd come out, hit a few balls.
There's no chance anyone finding yer man, is there? It's my land.
Who else is going to be there? We buried him down deep.
No-one's going to be digging him up any time soon.
Relax.
I didn't realise I had the phone switched off.
Must've left in my jacket behind the bar and.
.
Siobhan.
Yeah.
Where's Leyton? Siobhan.
Leyton, where is he? Don't shout at me! I'm not shouting at you.
I'm sorry.
I'm just.
.
Where is he? Donna has him.
I rang her to come over cos I tried ringing you but you.
.
Did you say anything to her? Yeah, I did.
I said to her, I needed a break and would she take Leyton off or an hour or two.
Siobhan, don't be joking around.
It's serious.
I know I can't.
.
I can't say anything.
Don't worry, I'll go and get my lips sewed up and get someone to talk to.
If you need to talk to someone.
.
you can talk to me but you can't talk to Donna or.
.
I have to go to the clinic.
I have to get tested for diseases.
For HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea, hepatitis, for anything else he could've given me.
I might have to get a stitch and antibiotics cos I think where he ripped me is infected.
Cos it's killing me.
The pain and it feels like it's swollen with puss.
I need to get something strong for the fuckin' intense pain where he ripped me.
Cos it was like getting poked by a shitty stick.
You know I'd do anything for you.
Yeah.
Things got messed up there and all of that.
.
I'm talking about before but.
.
You know you can't give them your name.
Did you bring the coke? Yeah.
Here.
Had about 10 coffees and 20 cans of Coke and Redbull to keep me awake.
Those bleedin' zimmos.
I don't you only take two.
This isn't even enjoyable.
I can barely keep my eyes open.
Did you get a dig off him? Yeah, he nutted me and I came off the stool.
Couldn't have timed it better.
Now he feels all guilty, that's the good news.
What's the bad news? The bad news is I sold him a pup.
Had to throw him a bone.
Go on, who is it? Elmo and the cousin.
How much is he paying for that? I kind of told him it's on the house.
You going to do it yourself then? Darren, this needs to be done.
You know it does.
You do it then.
What is it you want, money? You need this as much as I do.
No I don't.
Alright I'll sort something out.
I'll pay, how's that? That's a start cos I'll tell you one thing.
I'm skint.
What did I just say? I said I'd sort you out.
How much? What do you want for it? 50.
Alright.
He's going to set it up.
Someone's going to get you the gun, get it off you after.
I don't want anybody.
I want to do it on my own.
Darren, let's do it the way he wants it done.
I'm not doing it if it's some piece of shit he has for me.
I don't want the thing to jam on me.
I'm already ahead of you.
It's a Biretta M9.
Already tested but not used before.
Never jams, it's quality.
Who is it anyway? One of the scumbags who done Aido? No, it's their sister.
Their sister? What do I want a young one for? She done it before.
Anyway, who's going to stop a young one out at night with her fella.
I've the feelers out about Elmo.
Soon as I hear.
Here.
Told Dano if you stick a gun in Elmo's mouth he'd say where Git was buried.
Elmo's psychic now, is he? You're going to have to say he rushed you, jumped you before you could get it out of him.
What's the name of the young one? Lizzy.
Here.
You've a new place for that, don't you? Yeah, I'll leave it in Shauna's.
There's only the two of them and the nanny in the house.
I'll leave it in the attic over there after.
Where's the ma, upstairs? Raymond, leave her where she is.
Jaysus, it's like feeding time in the zoo in here.
Get out Raymond.
You're barred.
You not stopping? No, I've to get home.
Where's head the ball? He's gone in to annoy the ma.
Has she not got a barring order on him? Is he still staying with yous? Leona's brother's away so he has his bed.
How's my little godson? I'll give you a look now.
Mad little fella, isn't he.
The head on him.
Come here.
Mind yourself now, won't you.
Are you alright then? Yeah.
Don't get caught with that, whatever you do.
I won't.
When's this young one coming? Should've been here half an hour ago.
KNOCK ON DOOR.
.
Alright.
He's down there now.
Was that not her? No, it was the young fella.
I'm going to head over and do a recky.
What about yer one? Bus broke down.
What's she doing on the bleedin' bus? That's fuckin' amateur, that is.
PHONE RINGS.
.
What are you calling me for? Darren.
I'm on the way to that match, remember.
What? The match.
The one you wanted me to play and mark yer man.
Sorry.
Don't worry.
I'll talk to you later on.
Darren! What? Elmo.
How are you, man? That's gas, meeting you here.
What are you doing around here? I'm just meeting someone.
I was just heading home.
Unless you want to go for a pint.
Yeah.
Are you Darren? No.
Close that door behind you, will you.
Is he not here? No, he's gone.
Yer man was spotted.
He couldn't wait.
The fuckin' bus broke down.
What are you doing getting a bus? Could you not get a taxi? I got one after but I had to wait for it.
Where do I meet him? He said you're to wait here.
What happened your leg? Your brothers done that.
Why'd they do that to you? Cos they thought I was someone else.
Where can I change? In there, the kitchen.
Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to the hospital? And be waiting there all night? There's nothing wrong with me.
Bollocks didn't dip his lights.
Reflexes hadn't kicked in I was brown bread.
What about the car? I'll sort it tomorrow.
It's good to see you, pal.
You too.
I thought you were in London.
Not any more.
I'm done with that.
Is Rosie still over there? I'm done with that as well.
What's the story with you? You've got a kid now? Yeah.
One and a half now, he is.
He's a little terror.
Climb up on anything.
You can't take your eyes off him.
Turn you back and he's out on the balcony.
He's a little bollocks.
Here', I'll show you a picture of him.
There's one I want to show you.
I brought him to an Ireland game.
The face on him, dead serious.
See it.
Ah yeah.
Yeah.
Will we have another one? Yeah.
Two more pints of lager please.
It's the best thing man, having a kid.
I know everybody does be complaining and moaning about it all and that but I love it Darren.
I swear.
Every minute of it.
I don't mind getting up to do the night feeds.
Lindsey hates it, I love it.
Even with a hangover I can hack it.
What? Nothing.
I was just shiting there.
Come on Elmo.
Come on man.
Nidge, I wanted to talk to you about Siobhan.
What the fuck's the matter with her? Get her some tablets.
She'll get over it.
She wants to get an AIDS test and that.
What does she want to get an AIDS test for? He was married, wasn't he.
An aul' fella like him's not going to be riding half the town.
She says you don't have to give your name in the clinic where you go.
She's not going near no clinic.
Is she stupid or what? She'll be seen and then what? Git had form, you know that.
Someone hears this happened to her and I guarantee within a day the cops will have heard and then Dano will hear about it.
What did I say to you? Take her home.
Did you? No you didn't.
I didn't know that prick was going to do that, did I? Siobhan would want to learn sharpish.
You go round dressed like a mutt in head and some hound will try and get up on you and give you a poke.
It's not her fault.
You know what Tommy.
I'm sick of your moaning, both of yis.
Do you have any idea who he was? Yeah.
No, you don't.
You didn't ask me about the mark.
The mark on my face.
Is there any chance if I paid you double what you're getting you'd let me off? You don't have the money.
I'm tired Darren.
If you're going to do it, just do it.
I'm not going to do anything to you.
Just sit down, will you.
Straight up.
This is what I'm supposed to do.
I have to clip you and your cousin.
But if you were to disappear and no-one saw you, I could say you skipped off on me and I couldn't find you.
But that's only going to work for one of yis Elmo.
You know that.
Can you not give my cousin a break Darren? He can fuck off as well and.
.
If I didn't get one of yis no-one would believe me.
Jaysus Darren, he had nothing to do with that prick.
It was me.
I said it.
I was out of my head.
It's not him.
It's the son.
Yer man's missing.
He's missing? Yeah.
I don't know anything about that Darren.
I swear.
That is scummy, that is Darren.
That is scummy.
Shut up.
You're going to have to disappear and you're going to have to tell me where your cousin lives.
Elmo.
What does he call you, your cousin? Elmo or Eric? Eric.
Hey.
Hey! I'm in fuckin' heels here.
You see what I'm wearing.
Are you going to wait for me? You're bombing ahead there like anything.
It's funny, is it psycho boy? No, I just forgot you were there.
You forgot I was behind you? I'll go slow, alright.
I wouldn't need you to go slow if I wasn't in this get-up.
Here, take my hand.
Go on.
Here, give us that.
Right.
You wait here for me.
What do you want me to do if the cops come? If they come just leg it.
I'll meet you back at Aido's.
I'll be back in 5.
Who's there? Eric.
Who? Eric.
BABY CRYING.
.
Come on.
You go on.
Come on.
Give us that.
What are you.
.
? I'm supposed to bring that back.
You can't now.
Come on.
Better you stay here tonight.
I have money for a taxi.
No.
You need to lay low.
Just in case we were seen.
Did you do it? Yeah.
His girlfriend saw me.
Will she be able to identify you? No, she's dead.
Come on.
What happens now then? Nothing.
The cops are going to be all over this.
Because it was a woman? Yeah.
I'm supposed to.
.
What? Dano's calling over to my brother's house and I'm supposed to tell him what you found out.
What? About his Da.
It'll have to wait.
Did you find out? No.
Are you still sore? Yeah.
Did it happen recently? No.
How many days ago would you say it happened? I don't want to say.
It's okay.
Would you say it was roughly, just so I know medically, was it more than 2 days ago? More than a week? I know this is very hard for you.
I don't want to talk about.
.
About who it was and all.
It's okay.
I won't ask you any of that.
Are you ready for me to examine you? Okay.
Come on.
I just need you to lie up on the bed.
Just take your trousers and your pants off, if that's okay with you.
I was worried about.
.
I was worried.
.
I was worried could I be pregnant.
Did the person ejaculate into you? I don't think so.
That's no problem.
We'll go through everything.
Okay? I saw it on the telly.
It's a cluster fuck is what it is.
What could I do Nidge? She saw me, she knows me.
I'm not giving out to you.
I'm saying there's going to be some heavy shit over this, that's all.
The papers will be full of it.
Kill a woman and all that.
What happened with Elmo? Thought you had him spotted.
I thought I had him.
Don't know what happened.
Ordered a pint, next minute I went to the jacks and he was gone.
What were you doing drinking with him? He spotted me, didn't he.
Did you say something to him? No.
What are you talking about? How did he know then? I don't know, he knew.
Same as sometimes a rat won't go near a bait box.
This is a mess Darren.
I got the cousin, didn't I.
That wasn't he point.
Dano gets Elmo to talk and we're fucked.
That was the whole point, get Dano off our backs.
Elmo's not coming back.
No? No.
Well you better make sure of it.
You can get fucked if you think I'm paying you the 50 after this.
didn't I.
A deal's a deal.
What are you talking about? You made it worse getting that bird.
Alright, fuck you.
20 then.
But Elmo better stay in whatever hole he's in.
Cos if he does pop his head up it's you needs to fuckin' chop it off.
What if they come here like they done on Gary and Nicola? Did you think about that? Me and Troy here.
If they don't know I'm here you'll be alright.
Do you know who it is? I don't know.
I told you.
And where are you going to go? I don't know Lyndsey but I have to go before I'm seen.
Are you going to stay in Dublin? I don't know.
Yeah.
Anybody asks, I'm gone to England.
What do you want me to say to your uncle Liam? I don't know.
He knows you know who done it.
He's not stupid.
I don't know who done it.
Well you can ring him cos he's driving me up the wall.
You're not going to be here for thee funeral then, are you not? I don't know Lyndsey.
I don't know! They'll be waiting on me there.
Seeya later buddy.
It's a fuck up but what's done is done.
Do you want a short with that? Yer man say anything? He rushed him, straight off.
There was nothing Darren could do.
Do you think the other fella will be back? Elmo's a home bird.
I guarantee you.
I don't want him clipped.
Okay.
I need to find out where my da's body is.
How's your ma holding up? Do you mind me asking? Not good.
She's in bits.
Do you sell any bottles or half bottles? For take-away, yeah.
Whatever you want.
Bottle.
Now, there we are.
Good stuff.
Remember me da was saying.
He said you said we could bring our equipment in on one of your runs.
Yeah.
You said that? I did, yeah.
I remember.
I asked up there.
Checked it out.
They said to give you the go ahead.
We can have a fella on the other side on the continent to load it up.
You can do that? Yeah, no problem.
Good.
Dano.
Dano.
Dano! Yes.
You want me to drop you home? Come on, I'll drop you home.
Come on, I've to head myself anyway.
Alright.
Good man.
Come on.
Closing up, man.
Yeah, no problem buddy.
You have to go home.
Yeah.
Will you get me another drink? No.
I have to lock up.
Listen, you can't drink that in here.
Come on.
Fuck off.
Come on, don't make me have to call the Guards.
You prick! Now we're home.
Howya.
Come on Dano.
Thanks again.
He's not too bad this time.
He's probably just tired.
Yeah.
I'm a bit wrecked myself.
On the go all day.
Crashed my car yesterday.
Badly? Ah no, nothing serious.
Closed the eyes for a second, next thing I'm in the ditch.
Lucky there were no other cars on the road.
I could've killed someone.
He's taken it hard, is he? Git missing.
Yeah, he has.
But he's like all drinkers, isn't he.
When they're sad they drink.
When they're happy they drink.
They just drink.
Yeah.
Don't know what has me so wrecked this weather.
I couldn't get a coup of coffee to take on the road with me, could I? I don't like to ask but I'm a bit worried about falling asleep at the wheel again.
Yeah.
Thanks a million.
Not at all.
My pleasure.
I'll hit the road so.
Thanks for the coffee.
Tracey Carr, RTE 2012.
Someone's kneecapped Aido.
Who done that? The RA.
The RA? Nidge making a donation to the prisoners fund, is he? Git asked me to drop him off to you.
He'd a few too many.
Give us an aul' kiss.
Get away from me! I told you to bring her home and now look at the shit heap we're in.
I didn't do anything! Who is he? Git Loughman.
The RA man.
That's bad news Nidgy.
NIDGE: This is some heavy duty shit here.
If his friends find out, we're all going to be dead.
Nidgy, my aul' pal.
Are you after fadin' on me? Are you alright, buddy? What time is it? Time for the early house.
Are you up for it? No.
Better keep the head straight.
Ring this prick Dano back.
Two days I've been getting calls from him.
I already told him Git fucked off.
I don't know what he's ringing me again for.
Unless he doesn't believe me.
I thought you said the two of them was pissed out of their brains? Yeah.
The aul' fella could've gone anywhere, couldn't he.
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS.
.
Daniel.
Alright Ma.
Ma, are you alright? Have they found him yet? No Ma, but don't worry.
We have the lads all over town.
If he's anywhere at all we'll have him found and home in time for tea.
What are we going to do about his pigeons, Daniel? The pigeons.
The pigeons is fine Ma.
I already fed them and changed their water.
But who'll take them? Ma.
No-one's going to take his pigeons.
Are you mad? He'll go spare if he comes home and they're gone.
Ma.
Ma, he's coming home, alright.
He just went out on a session, that's all it is.
I'm going to find him, no matter what.
Do you hear me? Yeah.
I'm on it, right.
Darren, wake up.
Shit's hitting the fan.
Let's go.
What about Aido? Leave him.
Tommy.
Come on Tommy, wake up.
Come on, up.
Listen to me now.
Siobhan's keeping it together, yeah? She's alright like.
She wasn't there on the night, okay.
She was at home and went to bed early.
That's all she has to remember.
Is he going to want to know who was there? No he won't.
I'm just reminding you.
I want you to get some more of that industrial strength cleaning fluid and a yard brush and give the whole area another clean.
But I done that already.
That's why I said ANOTHER clean, you dope.
I don't want any empty bottles of bleach lying around the place either.
You think the cops will be around? No.
It's not the bleedin' cops that has me worried.
He's not answering.
There's something up if he's not answering.
Yis looked everywhere? Yeah.
All the usual spots.
That little prick knows something.
I know it.
Did you.
.
fuck Fran? He paid me, didn't he.
You're a dick Tommy.
You know that? Have you got a smoke? I know what you want to know.
I can tell.
Yis all want to know the same thing.
Who was the best.
Was I the best.
Is that good.
Do you like that.
Was Fran better.
It's like being fucked by a stinking robot.
In out, in out.
Faster, faster.
Slow slow.
Is that good.
Do you like that.
Is that good for you.
Is that good.
Oh yeah.
Don't stop.
That's it.
All my Christmases at once.
Alright Debbie.
Enough.
Is that crack talking now or is it you? What are you talking about crack for? Crack is whack, baby.
Crack is whack.
Go home to your girlfriend, Tommy.
And your baby.
This is Tommy.
Leave a message.
Can't hear what he's saying.
You listen, will you.
Can you make it out? Only he wants you to come over to him.
I don't get it.
I don't know what he's at.
What's his game? Do you think he knows? No but you're the last person he saw with his da.
I already told him that so why is he leaving me all these messages? So you're going to go over there? What else can I do? If I don't he'll smell a rat.
Do you want me to come with you? No.
I have to do it on my own.
Otherwise he knows.
Take some zimmos.
You won't give a shit about anything.
He could chainsaw you in half and you'd be laughing.
Fuckin' hilarious.
Do you want them or not? Go on then.
Well two is no use to me.
Two is enough.
Otherwise you'll be on the floor.
Look at this.
Give me another two for later.
You'll be totally out of it then.
Just give me them, will you.
Alright.
Do you think I should ring Git? What are you on about? On his mobile.
In case Dano can access it and he hears all these messages from me going alright Git, hope you got home okay.
No.
Who does that? No-one.
Then he knows it's you.
How long before these kick in? About half an hour.
All you've to do is remember there's no way he knows it's you cos no-one's talked.
He's going to wonder cos you were out with him but the way he was, anybody could've done it.
Right.
Are you alright, hun? Come here.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Where's the little man? Is he in his cot? >It's okay.
Aunty Donna's here now.
I'm sorry to ask you Donna.
I just need a break.
Don't worry chicken.
It's no bother to me.
What is it, hun? Are you not well? Do you not want to tell me? He's on his own.
The hack of him.
Like he's off Strictly.
Must have some balls coming in here if he's after doing something.
Nah, he's a chicken shit.
Maybe he doesn't know anything.
We'll know soon enough.
Alright Dano.
How's it going.
Jayz, it's freezin' outside.
Very cold for March.
My flute's got frostbite it's so cold.
What the fuck are you on about? Where's my da? Sorry.
I had fuck all sleep last night.
I was out with the lads.
Do you think I'm stupid? No.
I have to say, this is mad Dano.
If I knew anything would I be here? I can have you in a shed out there in 5 minutes and cut your bollocks off with a broken bottle.
Then we'll see.
Go for it.
Go ahead.
It's like I'm bollixed either way here with you.
Number one, I didn't do anything to your da.
I don't know where he is but I'm here to help.
Do whatever you want.
I'll answer all your questions the same, no matter how many times you write it down.
Number 2.
.
And number 2.
.
Number 2.
.
I can't remember what number 2 is but I don't know where he is.
I said to him.
When I was going to drop you off I said I'd drop him off.
I dropped him off in town so maybe.
.
Maybe he went back to the brazzers to her his hole.
Are you alright? Yeah.
He was nowhere near the brazzers.
Is that understood? Yeah.
I apologise.
I didn't mean that Dano.
I don't know where he is.
I'm sorry.
My Ma hears that from the cops and she'll be in bits.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I saw red there.
Thought you were getting smart.
No.
I was thinking you done something to my Da.
No.
We all left after the.
.
After the place.
We get in the car, you were there, drop you home.
He says he wants to go into town.
He gets me to pull up on the quays and he hops out.
I didn't know what he was doing.
Paddy, go in next door and get him a drink.
A drink will sort you.
I'll have a vodka.
I'll have one as well.
Appreciate you driving me home.
Two fellas in the bar.
You say you know the one my da made shite out of.
Yeah.
Who is he? Elmo.
The other lad's his cousin.
What's the story with him? You mean is he mad enough to go after your da? Yeah.
Yeah.
Elmo's a headcase.
You know where they're at? I can get it sorted if you want.
Do it myself.
Right, no problem.
All I was thinking was, if Elmo heard you were looking for him he'd be gone but we all go back, you know.
If I got one of the lads he knows, he wouldn't see it coming.
The fuckin' branch.
You can do it, can you? No problem.
I want them got in the back of a van.
I want them tortured.
It'd be easier getting them shot.
With all the cops around.
They stop you and you have them the boot of a car and then he scoots and he's gone.
What the use in shooting him if I don't know where my da is? Right.
Fair enough.
I know Elmo, right.
He's a pussy.
Jam a pistol in his mouth and he'll start crying.
Tell you anything you want.
Draw you a fuckin' map, so he will.
Will you go out on the balcony if you're going to smoke that.
Is it sore? It's alright.
Animal should be locked up.
A dog wouldn't do that.
What does the doggy say? Woof woof.
Ah Nidgy.
That's a beaut.
About 400 yards it was.
If only I'd get the putting sorted I could've turned pro.
It's only us.
All the stiffs are at work.
You'd think with no-one working they'd come out, hit a few balls.
There's no chance anyone finding yer man, is there? It's my land.
Who else is going to be there? We buried him down deep.
No-one's going to be digging him up any time soon.
Relax.
I didn't realise I had the phone switched off.
Must've left in my jacket behind the bar and.
.
Siobhan.
Yeah.
Where's Leyton? Siobhan.
Leyton, where is he? Don't shout at me! I'm not shouting at you.
I'm sorry.
I'm just.
.
Where is he? Donna has him.
I rang her to come over cos I tried ringing you but you.
.
Did you say anything to her? Yeah, I did.
I said to her, I needed a break and would she take Leyton off or an hour or two.
Siobhan, don't be joking around.
It's serious.
I know I can't.
.
I can't say anything.
Don't worry, I'll go and get my lips sewed up and get someone to talk to.
If you need to talk to someone.
.
you can talk to me but you can't talk to Donna or.
.
I have to go to the clinic.
I have to get tested for diseases.
For HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea, hepatitis, for anything else he could've given me.
I might have to get a stitch and antibiotics cos I think where he ripped me is infected.
Cos it's killing me.
The pain and it feels like it's swollen with puss.
I need to get something strong for the fuckin' intense pain where he ripped me.
Cos it was like getting poked by a shitty stick.
You know I'd do anything for you.
Yeah.
Things got messed up there and all of that.
.
I'm talking about before but.
.
You know you can't give them your name.
Did you bring the coke? Yeah.
Here.
Had about 10 coffees and 20 cans of Coke and Redbull to keep me awake.
Those bleedin' zimmos.
I don't you only take two.
This isn't even enjoyable.
I can barely keep my eyes open.
Did you get a dig off him? Yeah, he nutted me and I came off the stool.
Couldn't have timed it better.
Now he feels all guilty, that's the good news.
What's the bad news? The bad news is I sold him a pup.
Had to throw him a bone.
Go on, who is it? Elmo and the cousin.
How much is he paying for that? I kind of told him it's on the house.
You going to do it yourself then? Darren, this needs to be done.
You know it does.
You do it then.
What is it you want, money? You need this as much as I do.
No I don't.
Alright I'll sort something out.
I'll pay, how's that? That's a start cos I'll tell you one thing.
I'm skint.
What did I just say? I said I'd sort you out.
How much? What do you want for it? 50.
Alright.
He's going to set it up.
Someone's going to get you the gun, get it off you after.
I don't want anybody.
I want to do it on my own.
Darren, let's do it the way he wants it done.
I'm not doing it if it's some piece of shit he has for me.
I don't want the thing to jam on me.
I'm already ahead of you.
It's a Biretta M9.
Already tested but not used before.
Never jams, it's quality.
Who is it anyway? One of the scumbags who done Aido? No, it's their sister.
Their sister? What do I want a young one for? She done it before.
Anyway, who's going to stop a young one out at night with her fella.
I've the feelers out about Elmo.
Soon as I hear.
Here.
Told Dano if you stick a gun in Elmo's mouth he'd say where Git was buried.
Elmo's psychic now, is he? You're going to have to say he rushed you, jumped you before you could get it out of him.
What's the name of the young one? Lizzy.
Here.
You've a new place for that, don't you? Yeah, I'll leave it in Shauna's.
There's only the two of them and the nanny in the house.
I'll leave it in the attic over there after.
Where's the ma, upstairs? Raymond, leave her where she is.
Jaysus, it's like feeding time in the zoo in here.
Get out Raymond.
You're barred.
You not stopping? No, I've to get home.
Where's head the ball? He's gone in to annoy the ma.
Has she not got a barring order on him? Is he still staying with yous? Leona's brother's away so he has his bed.
How's my little godson? I'll give you a look now.
Mad little fella, isn't he.
The head on him.
Come here.
Mind yourself now, won't you.
Are you alright then? Yeah.
Don't get caught with that, whatever you do.
I won't.
When's this young one coming? Should've been here half an hour ago.
KNOCK ON DOOR.
.
Alright.
He's down there now.
Was that not her? No, it was the young fella.
I'm going to head over and do a recky.
What about yer one? Bus broke down.
What's she doing on the bleedin' bus? That's fuckin' amateur, that is.
PHONE RINGS.
.
What are you calling me for? Darren.
I'm on the way to that match, remember.
What? The match.
The one you wanted me to play and mark yer man.
Sorry.
Don't worry.
I'll talk to you later on.
Darren! What? Elmo.
How are you, man? That's gas, meeting you here.
What are you doing around here? I'm just meeting someone.
I was just heading home.
Unless you want to go for a pint.
Yeah.
Are you Darren? No.
Close that door behind you, will you.
Is he not here? No, he's gone.
Yer man was spotted.
He couldn't wait.
The fuckin' bus broke down.
What are you doing getting a bus? Could you not get a taxi? I got one after but I had to wait for it.
Where do I meet him? He said you're to wait here.
What happened your leg? Your brothers done that.
Why'd they do that to you? Cos they thought I was someone else.
Where can I change? In there, the kitchen.
Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to the hospital? And be waiting there all night? There's nothing wrong with me.
Bollocks didn't dip his lights.
Reflexes hadn't kicked in I was brown bread.
What about the car? I'll sort it tomorrow.
It's good to see you, pal.
You too.
I thought you were in London.
Not any more.
I'm done with that.
Is Rosie still over there? I'm done with that as well.
What's the story with you? You've got a kid now? Yeah.
One and a half now, he is.
He's a little terror.
Climb up on anything.
You can't take your eyes off him.
Turn you back and he's out on the balcony.
He's a little bollocks.
Here', I'll show you a picture of him.
There's one I want to show you.
I brought him to an Ireland game.
The face on him, dead serious.
See it.
Ah yeah.
Yeah.
Will we have another one? Yeah.
Two more pints of lager please.
It's the best thing man, having a kid.
I know everybody does be complaining and moaning about it all and that but I love it Darren.
I swear.
Every minute of it.
I don't mind getting up to do the night feeds.
Lindsey hates it, I love it.
Even with a hangover I can hack it.
What? Nothing.
I was just shiting there.
Come on Elmo.
Come on man.
Nidge, I wanted to talk to you about Siobhan.
What the fuck's the matter with her? Get her some tablets.
She'll get over it.
She wants to get an AIDS test and that.
What does she want to get an AIDS test for? He was married, wasn't he.
An aul' fella like him's not going to be riding half the town.
She says you don't have to give your name in the clinic where you go.
She's not going near no clinic.
Is she stupid or what? She'll be seen and then what? Git had form, you know that.
Someone hears this happened to her and I guarantee within a day the cops will have heard and then Dano will hear about it.
What did I say to you? Take her home.
Did you? No you didn't.
I didn't know that prick was going to do that, did I? Siobhan would want to learn sharpish.
You go round dressed like a mutt in head and some hound will try and get up on you and give you a poke.
It's not her fault.
You know what Tommy.
I'm sick of your moaning, both of yis.
Do you have any idea who he was? Yeah.
No, you don't.
You didn't ask me about the mark.
The mark on my face.
Is there any chance if I paid you double what you're getting you'd let me off? You don't have the money.
I'm tired Darren.
If you're going to do it, just do it.
I'm not going to do anything to you.
Just sit down, will you.
Straight up.
This is what I'm supposed to do.
I have to clip you and your cousin.
But if you were to disappear and no-one saw you, I could say you skipped off on me and I couldn't find you.
But that's only going to work for one of yis Elmo.
You know that.
Can you not give my cousin a break Darren? He can fuck off as well and.
.
If I didn't get one of yis no-one would believe me.
Jaysus Darren, he had nothing to do with that prick.
It was me.
I said it.
I was out of my head.
It's not him.
It's the son.
Yer man's missing.
He's missing? Yeah.
I don't know anything about that Darren.
I swear.
That is scummy, that is Darren.
That is scummy.
Shut up.
You're going to have to disappear and you're going to have to tell me where your cousin lives.
Elmo.
What does he call you, your cousin? Elmo or Eric? Eric.
Hey.
Hey! I'm in fuckin' heels here.
You see what I'm wearing.
Are you going to wait for me? You're bombing ahead there like anything.
It's funny, is it psycho boy? No, I just forgot you were there.
You forgot I was behind you? I'll go slow, alright.
I wouldn't need you to go slow if I wasn't in this get-up.
Here, take my hand.
Go on.
Here, give us that.
Right.
You wait here for me.
What do you want me to do if the cops come? If they come just leg it.
I'll meet you back at Aido's.
I'll be back in 5.
Who's there? Eric.
Who? Eric.
BABY CRYING.
.
Come on.
You go on.
Come on.
Give us that.
What are you.
.
? I'm supposed to bring that back.
You can't now.
Come on.
Better you stay here tonight.
I have money for a taxi.
No.
You need to lay low.
Just in case we were seen.
Did you do it? Yeah.
His girlfriend saw me.
Will she be able to identify you? No, she's dead.
Come on.
What happens now then? Nothing.
The cops are going to be all over this.
Because it was a woman? Yeah.
I'm supposed to.
.
What? Dano's calling over to my brother's house and I'm supposed to tell him what you found out.
What? About his Da.
It'll have to wait.
Did you find out? No.
Are you still sore? Yeah.
Did it happen recently? No.
How many days ago would you say it happened? I don't want to say.
It's okay.
Would you say it was roughly, just so I know medically, was it more than 2 days ago? More than a week? I know this is very hard for you.
I don't want to talk about.
.
About who it was and all.
It's okay.
I won't ask you any of that.
Are you ready for me to examine you? Okay.
Come on.
I just need you to lie up on the bed.
Just take your trousers and your pants off, if that's okay with you.
I was worried about.
.
I was worried.
.
I was worried could I be pregnant.
Did the person ejaculate into you? I don't think so.
That's no problem.
We'll go through everything.
Okay? I saw it on the telly.
It's a cluster fuck is what it is.
What could I do Nidge? She saw me, she knows me.
I'm not giving out to you.
I'm saying there's going to be some heavy shit over this, that's all.
The papers will be full of it.
Kill a woman and all that.
What happened with Elmo? Thought you had him spotted.
I thought I had him.
Don't know what happened.
Ordered a pint, next minute I went to the jacks and he was gone.
What were you doing drinking with him? He spotted me, didn't he.
Did you say something to him? No.
What are you talking about? How did he know then? I don't know, he knew.
Same as sometimes a rat won't go near a bait box.
This is a mess Darren.
I got the cousin, didn't I.
That wasn't he point.
Dano gets Elmo to talk and we're fucked.
That was the whole point, get Dano off our backs.
Elmo's not coming back.
No? No.
Well you better make sure of it.
You can get fucked if you think I'm paying you the 50 after this.
didn't I.
A deal's a deal.
What are you talking about? You made it worse getting that bird.
Alright, fuck you.
20 then.
But Elmo better stay in whatever hole he's in.
Cos if he does pop his head up it's you needs to fuckin' chop it off.
What if they come here like they done on Gary and Nicola? Did you think about that? Me and Troy here.
If they don't know I'm here you'll be alright.
Do you know who it is? I don't know.
I told you.
And where are you going to go? I don't know Lyndsey but I have to go before I'm seen.
Are you going to stay in Dublin? I don't know.
Yeah.
Anybody asks, I'm gone to England.
What do you want me to say to your uncle Liam? I don't know.
He knows you know who done it.
He's not stupid.
I don't know who done it.
Well you can ring him cos he's driving me up the wall.
You're not going to be here for thee funeral then, are you not? I don't know Lyndsey.
I don't know! They'll be waiting on me there.
Seeya later buddy.
It's a fuck up but what's done is done.
Do you want a short with that? Yer man say anything? He rushed him, straight off.
There was nothing Darren could do.
Do you think the other fella will be back? Elmo's a home bird.
I guarantee you.
I don't want him clipped.
Okay.
I need to find out where my da's body is.
How's your ma holding up? Do you mind me asking? Not good.
She's in bits.
Do you sell any bottles or half bottles? For take-away, yeah.
Whatever you want.
Bottle.
Now, there we are.
Good stuff.
Remember me da was saying.
He said you said we could bring our equipment in on one of your runs.
Yeah.
You said that? I did, yeah.
I remember.
I asked up there.
Checked it out.
They said to give you the go ahead.
We can have a fella on the other side on the continent to load it up.
You can do that? Yeah, no problem.
Good.
Dano.
Dano.
Dano! Yes.
You want me to drop you home? Come on, I'll drop you home.
Come on, I've to head myself anyway.
Alright.
Good man.
Come on.
Closing up, man.
Yeah, no problem buddy.
You have to go home.
Yeah.
Will you get me another drink? No.
I have to lock up.
Listen, you can't drink that in here.
Come on.
Fuck off.
Come on, don't make me have to call the Guards.
You prick! Now we're home.
Howya.
Come on Dano.
Thanks again.
He's not too bad this time.
He's probably just tired.
Yeah.
I'm a bit wrecked myself.
On the go all day.
Crashed my car yesterday.
Badly? Ah no, nothing serious.
Closed the eyes for a second, next thing I'm in the ditch.
Lucky there were no other cars on the road.
I could've killed someone.
He's taken it hard, is he? Git missing.
Yeah, he has.
But he's like all drinkers, isn't he.
When they're sad they drink.
When they're happy they drink.
They just drink.
Yeah.
Don't know what has me so wrecked this weather.
I couldn't get a coup of coffee to take on the road with me, could I? I don't like to ask but I'm a bit worried about falling asleep at the wheel again.
Yeah.
Thanks a million.
Not at all.
My pleasure.
I'll hit the road so.
Thanks for the coffee.
